Can you call it from your downstairs Alexa device? null

Yes! But we don't call from the device itself. We use the Alexa app with ours as an intercom to contact each other even when we aren't home. We have different names for each persons device which is how we identify who we are calling. You can do a drop in call through the app to ask a quick question to somebody at home or in another room. Our Echo devices all came in very handy while working and schooling at home in the past few years and still do. The Echo show devices can be used to do on screen face to face calls too. We have the large Family show set up central in the home to call anyone who may be available to answer in general. It serves to help control the other echo devices for example when an alarm goes off on one device upstairs the Family Echo Show can be asked to stop that alarm. No more running up or down the stairs.

Hi Nick! Yes, you can communicate using the Echo devices in your home! Use the "drop in" feature to connect your devices. For example, to connect to an Echo named kitchen, you would say: "Alexa, drop in on the kitchen." Thanks for your question, have a great day!
